For the next three years, the watch manufacturer will be the Official Engineering Partner of the Mercedes-Benz works team. For the new collection, IWC\u2019s design engineers took their inspiration from Formula One\u2122. Materials typically used in motorsport, such as carbon fibre, ceramic and titanium, are the hallmarks of a new design line in the Ingenieur watch family. The technologically demanding workmanship confirms the reputation of IWC Schaffhausen as a company that has been manufacturing top-quality timepieces for more than 140 years.\u00a0<\/div><div><br \/><\/div><div>Georges Kern, CEO of IWC Schaffhausen, commented on the global partnership with the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS\u00a0 Formula One\u2122 Team: \u201cThe engineers who work within our two companies have many things in common. They share a passion for precision technology and innovation. They are the heroes behind the scenes: their crafts man ship and expertise with high technology lay the foundations for our success. Their pioneering spirit and know-how push the boundaries of mechanical engineering and continuously redefine the achievements of precision technology. The two companies have a name for this untiring quest for perfection: performance engineering.\u201d\u00a0<\/div><div><br \/><\/div><div>IWC\u2019s cooperation with Mercedes-Benz dates all the way back to October 2004, when the Schaffhausen-based watch manufacturer announced a partnership with AMG, the car producer\u2019s high-performance brand. The following year, IWC unveiled its first two Ingenieur models named exclusively after AMG. This successful and long-lasting partnership is now to be extended to Formula One\u2122 motorsport. As a symbol of the ground common to their work, IWC Schaffhausen and the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One\u2122 Team have joined forces and merged their strengths in a new form of cooperation. \u201cWe are delighted that for the next three years we will be working side by side with a partner who stands for the same values as we do,\u201d explains Karoline Huber, Director of Marketing & Communications. \u201cApart from fitting perfectly with IWC\u2019s central message \u2018Engineered for men\u2019, the technical challenges, the emotional highs and lows and the gripping race against time make Formula One\u2122 the ideal environment for the fascinating stories that surround our Ingenieur watches.\u201d IWC Schaffhausen\u2019s new watch models have been inspired not only by high-tech, state-of-the-art motor racing, but also by the sport\u2019s historic roots. In the 1930s and in 1954\/55, the Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrow dom inated the international motor-racing scene. This is the reason why IWC has dedicated the Ingenieur Chronograph Silberpfeil to the legendary Mercedes racing car.\u00a0<\/div><div><br \/><\/div><div>The 1950s was also the decade that saw the advent of the tradition-steeped Ingenieur watch family. By pursuing the motto \u201cProgress results from continuous change\u201d, the Ingenieur fully embodied the philosophy of the Schaffhausen-based watch manufacturer. The cool, functional exterior housed a movement with a wealth of sophisticated technology. The more outstanding features included the first bidirectional automatic winding system and protection against magnetic fields. The timepieces very soon came to stand for precision and reliability. Thanks to their rugged qualities, the Ingenieur models not only appealed to technicians but also gradually found favour with sportsmen and globetrotters. In 2013, to coincide with the relaunch of the Ingenieur line, this trend has logically taken IWC to a sporting discipline that brings together all three attributes: Formula One\u2122.<\/div><div><div><br \/><\/div><div><strong>POLE POSITION IN THE BATTLE OF THE TITANS\u00a0<\/strong><\/div><div><div>INGENIEUR PERPETUAL CALENDAR DIGITAL DATE-MONTH<\/div><div><br \/><\/div><div><div><strong>The Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month comes with a large date display, a sporty\u00a0<\/strong><strong>design and a case made of titanium aluminide. Like the hybrid boost button on the steering wheel of\u00a0<\/strong><strong>a Formula One\u2122 car, its quick-action switch supplies maximum power precisely when it is needed\u00a0<\/strong> <strong>at the end of the month.<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/div><div><br \/><\/div><\/div><div>The sight of an original MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS steering wheel is intriguing \u2013 and not only for motorsport fans. Dozens of displays, levers and buttons are arranged in the tiniest of spaces. At first sight rather confusing, they\u00a0 are so clear to the driver that he can operate them intuitively, even at speeds of up to 300 kph. The instrument look was\u00a0 the source of inspiration for the designers and engineers at IWC when they created the new Ingenieur Perpetual\u00a0 Calendar Digital Date-Month (Ref. IW379201). The black-and-white dial looks every bit as complex as a Formula One\u2122\u00a0 \u00a0 steering wheel. Four totalizers are grouped around the central axis, dominated by the oversized numerals in the\u00a0 perpetual calendar, which shows the date and month on a large digital display. The perpetual calendar is one of the\u00a0 most impressive mechanisms ever invented by IWC Schaffhausen. The angular numerals underscore the technological aspects of the chronograph. Cut-out sections in the middle of the subdials reveal the arbors of the sophisticated disc mechanism. The 4-year leap year cycle is also shown digitally. On top of this, there is another new feature in the design of the perpetual calendar: the dial has semi-transparent sapphire-glass inlays over the date, month and leap year discs, which enable the wearer to observe the complex interplay of the discs as they advance. On New Year\u2019s Eve, the five displays begin to move simultaneously. It is a complex technological feat that no lover of mechanical complications will want to miss. The perpetual calendar is mechanically programmed to take the 29th day of February into account every 4 years. Only on 1 March 2100 will it require intervention by a watchmaker, because that year\u00a0 breaks with the conventional 4-year cycle and will not be a\u00a0 leap year. Despite its complicated mechanism, the perpetual calendar can be set easily using the crown.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div><div><br \/><\/div><div><strong>TITANIUM ALUMINIDE \u2013 \u00a0 A MATERIAL USED IN MOTORSPORT\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/div><div><br \/><\/div><div><div>When it comes to the use of state-of-the-art high-tech \u00a0materials, the competition in both watchmaking and motor\u00a0 racing is fierce. For the first time ever, IWC Schaffhausen unveils a watch case made of titanium aluminide (TiAl) and\u00a0 underscores its passion for innovative solutions. IWC discovered the use of titanium for the watch industry as a case material as early as 1980. In motor racing, titanium aluminide is used for pistons and valves: this is because the alloy is lighter and tougher than pure titanium and very well suited to the extreme temperatures generated in the combustion chamber. Machining this high-performance material for case blanks is a major technological challenge. A team of specialists at IWC worked on it for 3 years until they mastered the process to perfection. Push-buttons, screw heads and the crown and its protective shoulders on the Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month\u00a0 are made of black high-tech ceramic (zirconium oxide). IWC was also the first watch manufacturer to use this anti\u00ad magnetic, acid-resistant and scratch-resistant material for a case \u2013 that of the Da Vinci Ceramic (Ref. 3755) \u2013 back in 1986. Composites using ceramics have established themselves for the use of brake discs in Formula One\u2122 because of their resistance to heat and to mechanical wear\u00a0and tear. The combination of titanium aluminide and ceramic in the case is not only an indication of IWC\u2019s engineering prowess but also of the special affinity between the Ingenieur watches and motor racing. \u00a0<\/div><div><br \/><\/div><div><strong>QUICK-ACTION SWITCH DELIVERS MAXIMUM POWER\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/div><div><br \/><\/div><div>When a Formula One\u2122 driver needs more power, he simply presses the hybrid boost button on the steering wheel to\u00a0 unleash all his engine\u2019s potential. At the end of the year, the Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month is called upon to advance two date and two month display discs as well as the leap year disc. Unfortunately, it cannot simply push a boost button. Mastering the technological challenge presented here took a team of IWC watchmakers and design engineers no less than 4 years. They developed a mechanism to store the energy separately: a quick-action switch, as it is known. Every night, when the date display advances, this sophisticated mechanism siphons off a little of the energy, stores it and then discharges it precisely at the end of the month. At the end of the year, five display discs \u2013 including the one for the digital leap year display \u2013 have to be advanced simultaneously. Needless to say, this must have no effect on the watch\u2019s accuracy, even if the tension in the mainspring is almost exhausted or if the chronograph is also activated at the same time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div><div><br \/><\/div><div><strong>WATCH-WITHIN-A-WATCH\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/div><div><br \/><\/div><div>The innovative \u201cwatch-within-a-watch\u201d was designed for the rapid, intuitive display of stop times between a minute and\u00a0 12 hours. While stop times up to 60 seconds are shown conventionally by the central chronograph hand, the hours and minutes recorded by the stopwatch can be read off on the totalizer at \u201c12 o\u2019clock\u201d as easily as reading the time on an analogue display. The integrated flyback function allows wearers to return the running stopwatch hand to zero and to start another timing sequence immediately. To turn this practical chronograph function into reality, the design engineers equipped the IWC-manufactured 89802 calibre with a particularly efficient automatic double\u00adpawl winding system. The movement consists of 474 individual parts and can build up a power reserve of 68 hours. As an acknowledgement of IWC\u2019s involvement with motor racing in 2013, the rotor takes the shape of a wheel rim and can be seen through the transparent sapphire-glass back on the reverse side of the Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month. The attractive black rubber strap with textile inlay ensures that the watch is extremely comfortable to wear and has a long service life.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div><div><br \/><\/div><div><strong>IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/div><div><br \/><\/div><div>With a clear focus on technology and development, the Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen has been producing timepieces of lasting value since 1868.
